A Canberra foodie's adventures
Have you heard of the Sunday Supper Club? It is held once a month at the Winning Appliances showroom in Kingston. Hosted by HerCanberra’s Amanda Whitley, a different eatery cooks up a multi-course supper for roughly 24 guests. I got to go on the night that Eightysix was cooking with fellow foodie friends.

Super Bao started off as a food stall around the Canberra markets scene, and have now opened its own shop in Dickson. My foodie friends and I went to check it out one night. We spotted a mocktail carafe on the drinks menu, and ordered the strawberry fauxito carafe. Tasty but with all the ice, […] Read more…
Located upstairs at the Hellenic Club in Woden, Ginseng offers yum cha every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The place is buzzing and busy by 11.30am (when yum cha commences) and I double check my watch to see how late I am. How are there so many people already eating? We are seated in the partitioned […] Read more…
I was booked into Gelato Messina’s Gelato Appreciation Class in May (as a Christmas gift) which started at 9.30am until 12.00 noon. I was looking forward to two and half hours of gelato-making and taste-testing. Some small tables had been set up inside and as I was there on my own, I was paired up […] Read more…
I booked four of us into Beef & Barley’s Burger High Tea a few weeks ago. There was a half-price deal available on Cudo (it might still be available) so I figured it was the perfect time to try it out. The burger high tea comes with one beer/wine/soft drink/milkshake per person. Two x three-tiered […] Read more…

After my first visit to Cinnabar on the Kingston Foreshore back in 2016, it took me 2.5 years to go back (purely because there are always too many new eateries to visit). But I dined in twice within a fortnight and plan to go back more often. There are three types of sang choi bao […] Read more…
Melbourne chain Gami Chicken and Beer at the Canberra Centre has been a popular hot spot since opening last year. I met up with a friend for lunch where we shared a whole boneless fried chicken ($35) for approx 750g, and could choose two flavours. We chose the sweet chilli and soy garlic. My favourite […] Read more…
